Playgroups in Bournemouth

Welcome to Pop Up Play Village!

Our role play village is mobile, open plan, educational and FUN!

Children from babies to 8 years are able to play in a safe environment where they can engage, explore and immerse themselves in the world of role play. They can become doctors, chefs, builders, vets and more – our play areas are designed to inspire imaginations and allow the children to lead their own play.

We are family orientated and know that it’s as important for grown-ups to socialize as much as it is our little people, so our sessions are open plan to allow you to sit back and always be able to see your children.

We currently do sessions at these venues:

 

Every Tuesday Redhill Park Cafe
Two 45 minute sessions 10.15 and 11.15
£3 per child

 

 

 

 

We also Pop up at Birthdays parties, weddings and much more.

We can’t wait to see you at a session and welcome you to our village very soon.
